Less is a free, open-source file pager. It can be found on most versions of Linux, Unix and Mac OS, as well as on many other operating systems.

This software is distributed in two modes:
  • as compressed package that you have to download and manually install; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too;
  • as RPM package; you can install it using your favorite rpm package manager, that will take care to download and install both the software and its prerequisites.
Choose the installation mode that you prefer. Please note that not all the versions are available in both the installation modes.

Installation with rpm

This program is installable using the rpm package manager. See below for the install string. Required prerequisites are automatically processed by the package manager and, if needed, downloaded and installed.

Less v. 370 (9/1/2009, Kyosuke Tokoro) Readme/What's new
Less, version 370 for OS/2 WARP This is the binary distribution of less, version 370, and was compiled for for OS/2 WARP. This program requires emx 0.9d FIX 04 or newer runtime. It can be found at: ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/leo/gnu/emx+gcc/ ftp://ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/dev/emx/v0.9d/ or their mirror sites. You may wish to install less.exe, lesskey.exe and scrsize.exe in a directory which is included in your PATH. scrsize.exe is required only if you use a terminal emulator such as xterm or rxvt. If you'd like to get source code, please visit the less home page at: http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/ To compile source code of less, any patches are not required. So, I got source tar-ball from there, and I just compiled with using the emx 0.9d FIX 04 (and XFree86 3.3.6). Kyosuke Tokoro <NBG01720@nifty.ne.jp> http://www.vector.co.jp/authors/VA000199/os2/
